Five arrested in suspected bridge bomb plot near Cleveland

Five arrested in suspected bridge bombing plot near Cleveland

Five
people, claiming to be anarchists, have been arrested in Cleveland for
trying to blow up a four-lane bridge across the Cuyahoga Valley National
Park.

The public was never in danger from the devices, according the FBI.
The explosive devices were inoperable and controlled by an undercover
FBI agent. Charges against the suspects were filed Tuesday morning in
Cleveland.

Douglas Wright, 26, Brandon
Baxter, 20, and Anthony Hayne, 35, were arrested Monday and charged with
conspiracy and attempted use of explosive material to damage physical
property affecting interstate commerce, according to WEWS-NewsNet5
in Cleveland. Two other men, Connor Stevens, 20, and Joshua Stafford,
23, were also arrested, but not charged, the station reported.

The suspects were targeting the
state Route 82 bridge that spans the Cuyahoga Valley National Park,
according to WEWS. More than 13, vehicles travel over the bridge each
day, and 2.1 million people visit the national park each year, the
station reported.

The suspects had bought fake explosives and placed them near the
bridge Monday. The suspects were arrested after 9 p.m. Monday, the
station reports.

The suspects had considered a series of plots over several months. Among the alternative targets was the Veteran's Memorial Bridge, according to WEWS.

The suspects' initial plot involved the use of smoke grenades to
distract law enforcement in order to topple signs of financial
institution on high rise buildings in downtown Cleveland, according to the federal complaint.

One of the suspects had said during the planning of the attacks that
they were against corporate America and financial institutions, and not
merely random acts of violence, the complaint states.

The plot later developed to the utilization of explosive materials,
and the five men allegedly conspired to obtain C-4 explosives contained
in two improvised explosive devices to be placed and remotely
detonated, according to the complaint.

"Yes, I'm pissed off and most people irritate me. But if people weren't so ignorant, self-absorbed, and down right stupid, I wouldn't be so Bitchy all the time."
